Lydia was caught off guard, her eyes wide with disbelief. She didn't want to leave, but she knew she had to. After getting into the car, she glared at Madison's profile, as if she wanted to stab her with a dozen invisible daggers.

After the Murphies left, Jaxon turned to Madison. "Maddie, don't forget that you're Chance's lawfully wedded wife. No matter what, carry yourself with grace and dignity!" With that, he left.

Madison didn't spare Chance a glance either; she turned and got into her car. Chance watched as the Audi drove away before he turned and left.

When he returned to the villa, he found Madison watering the flowers. Clad in a misty blue sweater and trousers, her dark hair framed her peaceful countenance. She didn't seem to notice him as she carefully and lovingly watered the flowers whose names eluded him. After watering, she pruned and trimmed the leaves.

When he walked past her, she didn't say a word, behaving as though he was invisible. Chance went to the study to fi

    After walking out of the hospital building, Noelle said, "Please don't follow me, Mr. Lowe. You're not welcome at my place!" Then, she headed over to her Volkswagen Sagitar, which was parked nearby.Quentin hesitated for a moment but still decided to follow her. "Elle!" He walked up to her and reached out to close her car door. He then pulled her into his arms and leaned down to kiss her.The next thing he knew, she raised her hand and delivered a stinging slap to his face. The crisp sound made his body go rigid. "Have some respect, Mr. Lowe!" Noelle snarled, her striking eyes devoid of any warmth.Quentin stood rooted to his spot as he watched her turn away and get into her car. The Volkswagen Sagitar slowly pulled out of the parking lot and left without a word.Right then, a soft chuckle broke the silence. Quentin frowned and glanced over, spotting Gabriel not far from his car. "He must've just gotten out of his car and witnessed the scene where Noelle slapped me," he surmised. T

    Noelle recalled how Lorraine had been gang-raped before and felt a tight knot of worry in her chest. Worried that something might have happened to Lorraine, she rushed upstairs and knocked on the door. "Lorraine?"Meanwhile, in the house, Lorraine was sprawled on the bed, her whole body aching from the wounds, and she could tell that her nether regions had torn again.Mark, who hadn't been intimate with her for a while and was enraged by the fake medical report, had come close to torturing her this time. Even though he had left over an hour ago, she was still lying in bed, unable to move a muscle.Lorraine didn't want Noelle to know she was hurt, so she decided to ignore her calls and not answer the door, hoping that Noelle would assume she wasn't home and leave.However, instead of the outcome she desired, Noelle called out loudly from outside, "Lorraine, are you in there? Why aren't you answering the door? Is everything okay?"Lorraine held it together. She couldn't let Noelle k

    Noelle frowned, feeling a bit put out. "Fine, I'll respect your privacy, okay?"Noelle left Lorraine's place feeling glum. As soon as she stepped outside, she heard Lorraine's voice from upstairs. "I've unlocked the car for you. Go ahead and get your suitcase!"Noelle looked up and noticed Lorraine at her apartment window. After saying that, she shut the window and disappeared from view. Noelle retrieved her luggage from Lorraine's car and loaded it into her own vehicle. After hopping into the car, she called John. "Could you lend me a few people, Johnnie?""What's going on?" John asked gently.Noelle pursed her lips. "A friend of mine is in a bit of a pickle, and I was wondering if you could lend me a few people to keep an eye on her place. I need them to maintain a low profile, keep watch, and let me know if anyone suspicious shows up."He readily agreed. "Sure thing."He paused before adding, "By the way, Elle, would you like to join me for a late-night snack?" Noelle, who h

    Panic set in, and Noelle sprang to her feet, rushing to the restroom. There, she frantically splashed cold water on her face. While it helped to clear her head a little, it did nothing to relieve the persistent, simmering heat in her body.Noelle walked out of the restaurant and ran into John. John had his coat flung open, attempting to quell the burning desire within him with the cold of the winter night. When he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, he turned around and found Noelle rushing out of the restaurant. The streetlights illuminated her flushed face. It was an unusual shade of red; it had a mesmerizing, almost enchanting quality to it. John was a 40-year-old man; he was mature, rational, and always in control of himself. Yet, at the moment, all he could think about was holding her close and feeling their bodies become one."Johnnie…" Noelle called out, her voice soft and heavy with longing. He walked over and placed his hands gently on her waist. He leaned in and brush

    When he arrived at Carter's BBQ Shack, he found Yvette outside Noelle's Volkswagen Sagitar, pacing back and forth like a cat on a hot tin roof. Quentin hurried over and yanked on the car door, but it wouldn't budge. The interior was pitch-black, but he could make out a woman's silhouette slumped against the seat, motionless. He pounded on the door and called out loudly, "Noelle, what's wrong? Open the door, please?"Meanwhile, Noelle's clothes were almost torn to shreds at that moment. Clinging to the last of her sanity, she managed to pry open the door. Quentin took one look at her and immediately caught on. He took off his coat and wrapped it around her. Then, he lifted her out of the car and hurried to his own vehicle, placing her inside."What's wrong with Noelle, Quentin?" Yvette asked, her voice filled with concern, as she followed closely behind.Quentin closed the car door. "She's been drugged!"Yvette gasped. "What kind of drug?""A sexual stimulant." He climbed into

    As the world awakened to a new day, Noelle remained sound asleep in Quentin's arms. His lips curled into a tender smile, and a flicker of joy danced in his dark, obsidian eyes. He hoped that day would mark the beginning of a new chapter for them.His smile widened as he thought about how she had clung to him desperately the night before. He gently supported her head before carefully withdrawing the arm she had been resting on all night. Quietly, he slipped out of bed to take a nap.Martin sent him a segment of surveillance footage. "Mr. Lowe, please take a look at this," he said.Quentin played the video and watched as a slightly older woman with curly hair sprinkled something into two cocktails. Meanwhile, the waiter was facing away and talking on the phone, completely oblivious to what was going on. After the woman had quietly slipped away, the waiter brought the glasses to John and Noelle's table. Quentin's expression darkened. Right then, Martin sent him another video, showing

    In the video, Xyla was tearing her clothes apart while flashing a sultry smile and spouting indecent remarks. The male doctors in the office were so terrified that they fled in all directions.Noticing the peculiar look on his face, Noelle leaned over to take a look at his phone. What she saw took her by surprise.Quentin didn't say a word, but his demeanor grew somber and stern. He shoved his phone into his pocket and went downstairs. "It must've been John's doing," Noelle thought. While she couldn't remember much else, she remembered that someone had spiked both her and John's drink last night. That someone was Ava, who, in turn, must've been following Xyla's orders. Hence, Xyla was only getting what she deserved!Descending the stairs, Noelle called John to check on him.…Meanwhile, in the villa in the suburbs, a pale figure stood by the window. Even though only one night had passed, he appeared to have become a shadow of his former self.John couldn't for the life of him r

    Quentin carried Xyla back to the ward. Just then, Zion and several medical staff hurried in. "Let's put her to sleep first!" Zion instructed a nurse to give Xyla an injection.Quentin held Xyla's arm as she continued to squirm and spout indecent words. His expression grew colder with each passing second.The nurse administered the injection, and Xyla's body gradually went limp. Quentin's gaze hardened as he confronted Zion. "Is this the way your hospital cares for its patients? How could you allow her to be drugged like this?"Zion elegantly adjusted his glasses with his long fingers. "Now, now, let's calm down a little."Quentin pointed at his nose. "Zion Jenkins, you're her attending physician; you owe me an explanation for what happened today!"Noelle stood outside, her heart sinking as she witnessed everything that happened inside. His concern for Xyla was far greater than she had imagined. Even though she had been drugged as well, she didn't see him fuss over her, nor did s

    "Sorry, but if I ever get married, it definitely won't be to either of you."Noelle had originally come to visit Christian, but now she didn't feel like staying anymore. She was beyond frustrated.Christian's sharp, dangerous eyes narrowed in an instant, brimming with hostility as he locked his gaze on Noelle. Quentin's handsome face darkened as well, his mood turning stormy.Noelle spun around and walked out."We'll see about that," Quentin muttered, getting up to leave as well.As he passed by the clinic where Noelle worked, he cast a glance in that direction before heading out.Near the end of the workday, Russ called. "Ms. Xanthos, Mr. Xanthos has arranged for you to meet a boxing champion. Are you free now? I can take you to meet him."Noelle couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and bitterness. She had lived 24 years, and only now did he care about whether she had any self-defense skills. Isn't it a little late for that?Still, she went.After one session, she was dr

    Noelle quietly closed the door behind her. Leonard glanced over, saw it was her, and put away his phone. "He just fell asleep. Ms. Xanthos, you should head home and rest. I'll keep watch tonight," he said softly.Noelle shook her head. "He took the knife for me. How could I go home? I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. I'd rather stay here and keep an eye on him."She sat down on the couch, her gaze heavy with concern as she looked at Christian sleeping.Leonard nodded. "Alright, you stay here. I'll step out for a bit," he said before leaving the room.Noelle nodded.Christian's phone, sitting on the nightstand, pinged with a WhatsApp notification.Noelle walked over, picked up the phone, and saw a message from someone with the nickname "The Blomming Fifties.""What a flashy name," she thought with a faint smirk.But for some reason, curiosity tugged at her—she suddenly felt a strong urge to peek into Christian's private world as if she might uncover something hidden beneath t

    Noelle remained silent.In Dragfort, ever since Quentin had learned early that morning about Christian taking a knife for Noelle, he had locked himself in his office. It had been three hours now.The morning executive meeting was canceled, and his client appointments were rescheduled. Senior staff members who needed his signature on documents stood hesitating at the door, feeling the oppressive atmosphere even from outside the office.Department heads waiting to give their reports also lingered at the door, too intimidated to enter.In the end, they all turned their pleading eyes toward Martin.But even Martin was hesitant to go in.After all, he had witnessed the weight of Quentin's emotions—shock, frustration, and a deep sense of defeat—that had cast a heavy, oppressive mood over the office.Martin made a call to Dennis, knowing only he could possibly get through to Quentin now."Mr. Jackman, you need to come over," Martin said quietly, making sure to step into a quieter co

    Even though Christian was in obvious pain, he forced himself not to make a sound.Such a stubborn fool.The door knocked twice, and Leonard walked in. Seeing Noelle, he greeted her, "Ms. Xanthos."Noelle's eyes were red, but she didn't respond.Christian opened his eyes slightly and said, "Don't tell anyone I'm injured."Leonard nodded."Tell them I'm on a business trip," Christian added.Leonard raised an eyebrow, "Bro, with a wound like that, how long do you think this 'trip' will last before people catch on?"Christian shot him a cold glare, and Leonard quickly relented, "Okay, okay, I get it. I'll handle it."Christian closed his eyes again, waves of pain crashing over him like a relentless tide.Suddenly, he opened his eyes once more. "Silly girl."Noelle paused, her tear-filled eyes looking at him.A smile tugged at the corner of Christian's mouth. "Get out for a bit. You look terrible."Noelle's lips twitched as her damp lashes fluttered, and a surge of unexplainabl

    Just as the man raised the knife for a second strike, the security team arrived and swiftly pinned him down.Noelle heard a low grunt behind her, followed by Christian's pained chuckle. "Good thing it wasn't him."Noelle's heart clenched as she turned to see Christian, clutching his shoulder, slumped against her legs.He was wearing a beige coat, now stained with a large patch of blood around his shoulder.Christian was rushed to emergency surgery, but Noelle remained frozen in her chair, her mind replaying his words, "Good thing it wasn't him."Who wasn't it? Quentin?Why did he say that? Why did he act this way?The image of Christian's blood-soaked coat lingered in her mind. The wound—how deep was it?Noelle sat there, numb and lost in thought for an unknown period, until Michael appeared.He glanced at her through the doorway, but without a word, he continued walking past.A little while later, Kara gently patted her shoulder. "They've moved him to a room. You should go s

    Emmie smiled and placed a few more ravioli on Noelle's plate. "Then eat a little more. It's your mom's first time cooking, and once you're in the Utopia States, you won't have this."It wasn't like she had never cooked before—she had made instant noodles when she was alone.Noelle ate a small bowl of ravioli without pausing, her stomach now full and round. Her eyes welled up with tears, though whether it was from happiness or something else, no one could tell.After dinner, Noelle stayed for a bit before leaving.Emmie watched Noelle's car disappear down the driveway before finally going upstairs.Michael, leaning back on the bed, heard her soft footsteps approaching and lifted his eyelids.The bedroom was dark, and when Emmie stepped in, her gaze met Michael's dark, piercing eyes. She paused at the doorway, and he continued watching her."Lia must be blind. She couldn't tell if it was you or the driver," Emmie said coldly, walking straight to the other side of the bed and pulli

    Emmie was at a loss for words.Michael said, "Your daughter's leaving for the Utopia States soon. You should take this time to spend with her."Emmie's breath hitched. "Elle agreed?"Michael nodded. "Yes."It was the best way for Noelle to get away from those two men and focus on her own growth.After a night's rest, Noelle felt much better the next morning. Emmie called her, inviting her to Gentle Glades after work.What Noelle didn't expect was to see Michael there as well.He was lounging on the couch in casual clothes, flipping through a medical journal. Emmie, wearing an apron, seemed to be busy in the kitchen. When Noelle walked in, Emmie immediately came out."Elle!" Emmie's gentle face was filled with warmth as she took Noelle's hand.Noelle felt a bit disoriented.In her memory, Emmie's life was filled with books and work, never with the kitchen. And Michael—she hadn't seen him so relaxed and calm, casually reading a magazine on the couch, in over a decade.It felt

    Michael couldn't forget the look Elijah had given him that day—a mocking smile, full of meaning. Elijah slowly pulled back, revealing Emmie's curled-up body underneath him.Without a word, Michael opened his phone and pulled up a social media app. He tossed the phone to Emmie. "Take a look for yourself."Emmie looked down and saw a video posted by Elijah just minutes earlier. It was of her feeding him. She watched in disbelief, then replayed it. The account was undeniably Elijah's."Scroll down. There's more," Michael's voice drifted from the couch.Emmie's fingers moved down the screen, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Michael sitting with his legs crossed, taking a sip of coffee handed to him by the housekeeper.Further down, she found a photo posted by Elijah a month ago, showing her preparing his medicine. The footage seemed to be taken from security cameras.But none of these posts had appeared on her social media feed.She had never seen them on her phone.Mich

    Quentin didn't deny it.Noelle's chest tightened as she remembered that day in Ocean City when Christian had said Gillian deserved to be slapped. Now, it all made sense.At the time, she had sarcastically asked him if he would treat her the same way once he got tired of her.His response had been, "Do you think I'm tired of her, and that's why I did it?"Now she understood. Christian had known all along that it was Quentin who had called Gillian to Ocean City.A wave of frustration swelled in Noelle's chest. Her fingers clenched tightly as the memory of Christian's sweet words clashed with the thought of him being with Gillian. Bitterness gnawed at her.Just then, the door opened again, and a strong, steady figure entered. His gaze swept silently over the two men in the room before he walked straight to the bed."Elle?""Clement!" At the sight of him, Noelle's eyes brimmed with tears."Let's go home," Clement said as he turned and carefully lifted her onto his back. Noelle res
